Kansas suear.


FoRT Scorr, KAN, September "a.
Among the prominent men who
visited the Parkinson sugar works
yesterday was Colonel E. II. Cum
ningham, the largest sugar planter
in southern Texas. He was accom-.
panied by his manager and sugar
expert, r. A.. Wilkerson. In con.
versation with Times representa-
tive last evening, Colonel Cunning.
ham said:
i came here especially to see
your sugar works" said the colonel,
tand to learn the truth or falsity of
the reports sent out from this place
regarding this important subject of
sugar making. With my sugar ex-
pert, Mr.. WilkersoD, than whom 1
suppose there is none
more thoroughly informed
and practical in the south,
we have careful I may say critical,
examination of the Parkinson works
and the methods and processes there
used. had read Commissioner
COlman's remarks upon the work
being done, and knowing the man
well, had confidence in what he said.
But was not prepared to see the
complete and wholly unquestionable
success in sugar making from sor.
ghum that 1 have witnessed to-day.
The industry is established beyond
a question. The process is SIMPLE,
cheap and certain. Sugar is being
made to-day cheaper in Fort Scott
than We can possibly make 1t with
our old methods in Texas or Louis
Iana."
To the question as to what tn,
southern planter will do. in view of
this latter fact, the colonel said:
Eve must improve ouf methods.
Judge Parkinson and Prof. Swenson
have pointed out the way. Sorghum
grows Iuxuriantly in Texas. have
secured the seed and arranged for
the necessary appliances to manu-
facture sugar from both sorghum
and tropical cane npon my planta-
ton next year. 1 can thus secure
a continuous crop for six month in
the year. Texas will be the great
est sugar producing country IN the
world"
Mr.. Wilkerson said: 81 came
here with Colonel Cunningham ques-
tioning, doubling. go away to-
night with every doubt removed and
confidence in the value Of the soP-
ghum plant for sugar making born Of
seeing and knowing. It is strange
that Louisiana planters should come
to Kansas to learn the art Of sugar
making. And yet 1 have to-day
seen good sugar made at profit from
sorghum cane. Yes, Kansas Is to be
a great sugar state. regard the
work dCne here as Of almost incon-
ceivable value to the country. The
whole country owes duty Of graf
tude to the gentlemen here who have
worked out under so many discour-
agements these wonderful results.
l shall never again speak contempt
ously of sorghum. 1t will make
Kansas a sugar producing state, and
add untold wealth to Texas, NAL
the country more homogeneous, aid
greatly in settling the tariff ques-
tion. SPECIAL correspondent to the
Kansas City Times.

property holders. The amount of
money expended in building the
road being considerably more than
the amount of our proposed subscript-

ty expected.

EVERY true friend of the laboring
man and every "horny handed son of
toll" himself, will rejoice to know
that no convict labor is to be employ
ed in the construction of the Winston
and Wilkesboro road. Only honest
labor will be had and thus a large
number of workmen, of all classes re-
siding in our own immediate section
will be given employment. 1t is an
injustice to the intelligent working
men of our community to declare that
they are opposed to the road. We
predict that no class will vote for the
subscription more enthusiastically than
the working men.

believing that the construction will be
pushed with all possible rapidity and
that within less than four years time,

ANAKROw GAUGE POLICY.

The President for weeks has been
vainly trying to complete his appoint
ments on the Interstate Commerce
Commission, but he finds it difficult to
induce men Of national consequence to
abandon their present employment to
accept positions on the commission.
This development of the fact that
men of the higher order of talent can
not be secured must prove discour-
aging to those who are looking for a
vigorous and satisfactory enforcement
of the new law. It men of only aver
age ability are obtained failure is
inevitable. There will be instant and
frequent appeals from the decisions of
such board to the courts, and the
railroads will have greatly the adj
vantage.
The salary of $500 was thought
to be sufficiently generous to attract
men Of reputation, but the fact seems
to have been overlooked that the rail
roads pay their attorneys far greater
sums. These salaries should have
been the standard Of comparison.
Mr.. Morrison, who is absolutely at
sea, out of politics, having spent life
time in it; and Gen. Bragg of Ala
bama, with only State reputation
and of course glad to have an oppor-
tunity to acquire a National fame,
look upon the salary of railroad
commissioner as princely, but it offers
no inducement to men of the grade
the emergency calls for.
This mistaken policy has been man
ifest in our own State many times in
the past. Gov. Jarvis appointed
Judge Schenck as one of the Associ-
ate Justices of the Supreme Court Of
North Carolina, but this gentleman
occupied the place of attorney to the
Richmond & Danville Railroad Co.,
at salary doubtless many times in
excess Of that offered by the State.
The result was to be forseea. Mr..
George Davis one of the ablest law
yers in North Carolina has several
times had similar appointments
rendered him, but his own law prac-
tice was more valuable than the sal
airy of our Supreme Court Judges and
thus it is, men of ability often forego
the honors OF public life, because of
the inequality of the remuneration
and amount of labor and responsible
ty expected.

TEN miles Of the proposed road to
Wilkesboro must be built before our
bonds will pass into the hands of the
company and not one cent of interest
will therefore have to be paid until
that length of track shall have been
laid and the trains are running over
it. No public measure could be safer
and freer from risky exigiencies.
